Thanks Frank for providing the solution.

While I'm looking at output dataset, there is ZERO '0' written in the last byte of the output file.Any idea please why the last byte is written with '0'.

Other than this everything looks good as expected.

I don't see 0 in the last byte when I run the job using your input example as shown. Something must be different on your end. If your input had '0' in the last byte, so would the output.
